Am I dreaming or is that a different rendering? I was going to comment on how bad the design was for such a prominent place, but this building looks pretty good. This has been a vacant lot for as long as I can remember and a 30 unit building that is not hideous, is wonderful

No youre not dreaming, I went back and changed it once the new most up to date render came out the next day on bostonplans. I forgot to add the bostonplans link, so I just added it underneath. Youre right though that previous version was hideous.

This contributes a lot. This is one of the most run down parts of town, and the BHA/Morton corner is rough as can be both built conditions as well as traffic behaviors. Having a large image of new investment sends a very good implicit message to every brain of every person traversing this area, whether they consciously notice it or not.
